The Law Building occupies a prominent city-centre position directly opposite Chelmsford train station, offering three floors of high-quality office accommodation behind a retained Art Deco façade. The building totals approximately 20,156 sq ft NIA, delivered with full access raised floors, suspended ceilings with recessed lighting, VRF comfort cooling and an EPC B (42). A passenger lift and video entry system serve the floors, and 28 allocated spaces are provided in a secure underground car park.
The scheme benefits from immediate local amenities including a Brewhouse & Kitchen, gym, Bupa Health Centre and convenience retail, with Chelmsford High Street, Park Central bus interchange and frequent rail services to London within a short walk. The property is offered as a new 999‑year long leasehold interest at a peppercorn ground rent and is elected for VAT. It has a BREEAM rating of Very Good.
Considerations: the property sits in an area with very high crime levels and currently reports very slow broadband speeds, which may affect certain occupiers. The building contributes to a scheme-wide service charge and the premises appear in the 2023 VOA Rating List with significant rateable values; purchasers should factor ongoing service charge, business rates and VAT into occupational and investment appraisals.
This property will suit an investor or an occupier seeking a well-specified, centrally located office with strong transport links and existing parking, but buyers should allow for local crime profile, connectivity limitations and the cost obligations of service charge, rates and VAT.
